Thank you Exist for your suggestion. It was soon after submitting our proposal that Canessa and I learned of the "Outside of Budget" issue. After we resubmit in Q4, we will most likely do a better job of publicizing the proposal and hopefully the passed and enacted grant.

Decentral Ed This proposal is now in status: PASSED. Voting Results: * Yes 95% 9,864,059 VP (125 votes) * No 1% 510 VP (6 votes) * Abstain 4% 508,843 VP (8 votes)

That being said, I will vote abstain for now but rest assured a "Yes" for the resubmit. I do want to ask though, this is the first I've heard of any of this (my bad for not reading the proposal sooner) even being in the DAO and CBD discord and following you both on Xwitter and attending the CBD Xwitter space. Not even seen a repost of this or anything. I would suggest some more/better marketing perhaps.

Thank you to everyone who supported us! While our proposal ends in 8 hours, rest assured that we will be resubmitting this same proposal again at the start of Q4 on October 1st, 2023. Better documentation for Decentraland is on the way.

 We are live in [DEd.dcl.eth](https://play.decentraland.org/?realm=DEd.dcl.eth) right now

I enjoy reading this proposal. Thank you for this great initiative.

**Teachable Moment** [](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=bfab7b70-7b75-11ed-ad27-015f26e7c35c) Due to the timing of our proposal's submission and the [new quarterly budgeting system](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=bfab7b70-7b75-11ed-ad27-015f26e7c35c), **Decentral Ed** is currently ***Outside Of Budget***. It can't be funded this quarter. With the proposals in the Documentation category that have either reached their VP Threshold or have been passed and vested, the remaining available funds is around $9,000 USD. Thank you to all of our supporters for voting YES on this proposal. We will resubmit this same proposal, with adjusted Roadmap dates, on [date=2023-10-01 time=00:00:00 timezone="America/Chicago"]. In the meantime, @Canessa and I will host the three additional "DEd Reckoning" sessions on the dates listed below: [date=2023-09-21 time=23:00:00 timezone="America/Chicago"]- DEd Reckoning Governance: How to DAO, delegate VP, and get involved [date=2023-09-26 time=23:00:00 timezone="America/Chicago"] - DEd Reckoning Social: How to rent land to host your first party in DCL [date=2023-09-28 time=23:00:00 timezone="America/Chicago"] - DEd Reckoning Development: Guest developers discuss Smart Wearables and SDK7 If you missed last night's "DEd Reckoning", you can view an archived copy of the stream here: https://youtu.be/cdfXX_WSLh8 We'd love to see you in-world, on stream, or here in the forum to field your suggestions and answer your questions. > ***Knowledge is one of the few resources that increase in value the more it is shared.***

In addition to platform improvements, this is the kind of small grant that I can get behind. Educators who are ingrained in the DCL society, really appreciate this initiative. Look forward to what you two smarties will do. :handshake:

 Tonight at 9p PDT/12a EDT @Canessa and I will be hosting the first DEd Reckoning Session. Please join us in world on DCL Cast or via Kick or Twitch. Just follow this link: https://play.decentraland.org/?realm=DEd.dcl.eth Here's the post on X https://twitter.com/AwedJob/status/1701697759969956023

Thank you both for being generous with your costs. I appreciate the answer also.

When someone puts their heart into supporting and growing the Decentraland community long-term as both Canessa and AwedJob have, it is not only good for the ecosystem to support their future endeavors at a fair price, but it is just. Access to professionals in this niche at $15/hr is a more than fair price, which could be seen as an even lower cost thanks to all the retroactive experience and time that has been committed free of charge - more importantly, I am certain that the accountability here is extremely high, and the DAO will only pay for real hours worked that are not inflated. Little things such as IPFS documents over existing centralized solutions shows a level of expertise and care that I am sure will be brought to this series in general.

[quote="Tudamoon, post:10, topic:20566"] Where will this be available? [/quote] According to the guidelines set out in the Grants -> Grants Program -> Documentation section ([link](https://docs.decentraland.org/player/general/dao/overview/grants-program/#3--documentation)) > The content should be published on official mediums to be found and preserved for posterity. We take this to mean on sites maintained by the DAO and Foundation. For example, the docs.decentraland.org points to a GitHub docs repository. That could be one location for the 200 Decentral Ed documents we create. [quote="Tudamoon, post:10, topic:20566"] will there be continuous costs to maintain? If so, what do you project the costs to be? [/quote] Yes. The initial creation of these 200 proposed documents by two professional educators is set at $15/hr. The maintenance of these documents over the course of the six month grant duration is included in the budget. Beyond that timeline, continued maintenance would require additional funding from the DAO. I am working on a more detailed response to your question. I hope to post it later tonight. Canessa and I have an open call tomorrow where we will field questions and provide more detailed answers. The basic info is in the roadmap section of the proposal. I will post specifics about the first "DEd Reckoning" session soon.

Love the propossal!! Agree on to use gamification tools in it, like the welcome one you showed me AwedJob when I 1st log in

This is a very good idea and seems to be able to be done at a reasonable cost. Where will this be available? And as for updates, will there be continuous costs to maintain? If so, what do you project the costs to be?

Excellent use of a very conservative amount of funds for this task. These documents should be created by educators--thank you for taking this on, Canessa and AJ. <3

[quote="Sannin, post:6, topic:20566"] Voting to abstain for now [/quote] Thank you for your consideration and for your fiscal responsibility. [quote="serena, post:4, topic:20566"] Some suggestions you can give to the community, for members to ask questions or get feedback [/quote] Thank you Serena. I appreciate your suggestion regarding user feedback. We will give it a close look. [quote="AaronLeupp, post:5, topic:20566"] I have learned a ton from @Canessa and @AwedJob [/quote] And I you Aaron. We are all teachers and we are all students.

Thank you for your suggestion. Assessments and acknowledgments are an important part of the education process. We chose to focus on the documentation for this grant. Experiential learning and demonstration of understanding are core components of what both @Canessa and I have done as licensed educators.

Voting to abstain for now as this grant would be is competing at the moment with, https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=1740a740-4db0-11ee-beb5-696f9c967b67 otherwise I would vote in favor. :handshake:

I have learned a ton from @Canessa and @AwedJob over the years and continue to do so. Easy Yes from me.

Education in web 3 is crucial to onbaording and getting new people involved. Onbaording is not a 123 step. Growing, sharing information will help others get familiar and also bring more confidence when they do enter into the space, or brush up on their skills. I am also doing education in DCL, and I know there is always room for new information, and content. Especially for different subjects. Some suggestions you can give to the community, for members to ask questions or get feedback https://www.typeform.com/ I find this helpful for answering the needs, and getting data on the people around you to make the experience better.

Education is always good, to add something, what I would like to see is a gamified education program with non-transferable certification NFTs.
